Celebration - Kool & The Gang
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Kool & The Gang
From: “Celebrate!” (1980)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
The chords in the chorus look confusing over the lyrics. That's why I tabbed
these parts out, so it becomes clearer.
